August 3rd 2003 Twenty-four milligrams of N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine hcl MiPT intrigued me when I first read of it in TIHKAL. From a chemical standpoint, it is similar to DMT and DiPT. The structure of MiPT has one isopropyl group on a DMT backbone where DiPT has two...

Summary
N-Methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine (also known as MiPT) is a lesser-known psychedelic substance of the tryptamine class. It is structurally related to DMT, along with other analogs such as DiPT, MPT, and MET. MiPT was first synthesized and investigated by Alexander Shulgin and described in his book TiHKAL ("Tryptamines I Have Known and Loved").
Perspectives
“MiPT is a subtle and quiet and interesting little thing that even at a fairly high dose, didn’t offer much in the way of intensity. The headspace is pleasurable, warm, comfortable, and intriguing. It feels like it borders on the profound, though it was too faint and ethereal to truly grasp.”
“Maybe a hint towards the end of an hour. Nothing further. Slept soundly.”

Brush-Up With Princess MiPT After reading up on obscure tryptamines , I stumbled upon a drug called DiPT, which reportedly distorts sound (as opposed to vision), giving such aural psychedelia as feeling like you're in another universe. I was disappointed to find that DiPT is, as of now, unavailable to most Americans.
Earlier this week I decided to try MiPT (N-methyl-N-isopropyltryptamine). Mindset: My previous experience with drugs, especially psychedelics, is extensive. I have tried mushrooms, LSD, mescaline, DMT and many synthetic tryptamines and phenethylamines, plus a wide array of stimulants, dissociatives, sedatives, and most...
MIPT, a Short Retrospective I have taken MIPT via oral and nasal administration somewhere in the area of ten times and wish to share a few notes about my experiences which I hope will be helpful in increasing the available knowledge about this interesting Tryptamine and DMT analogue.
After I recieved my fed ex package containing my gram of methyl isopropyl tryptamine, I set the first dose at 20mg with a very mild response. Perhaps a Shulgin rating of + 1/2 (1 and a 1/2). I believe 20mg orally was a little too low for me, but I should have probally fasted from drugs for a few days.
Preface: MiPT can fall into 2 categories- it is a base tryptamine, that is, a tryptamine without any additional molecules attached to the base indole rings. These chemicals, like DMT, DET, MET, DPT, DiPT, etc. often show low oral bioavailability and are usually not very potent via that route.
I have quite a number substances I have tried such as LSD, psilocybe, salvia, marijuana, 2C-C, 25C-NBOMe, 2C-D, 2C-E, 2C-T-2, 4-HO-MET, 4-HO-MiPT, 5-meo-MiPT, DiPT, 4-acetoxy-DMT, 4-acetoxy-DET.
[Erowid Note: Driving while intoxicated, tripping, or extremely sleep deprived is dangerous and irresponsible because it endangers other people. Don't do it! ] Just a little background, I have debilitating depression as well as other disorders associated with ill mental health for most of my life, however, no to the po...

I am still on this substance as I type this, so please excuse me if anything I say is somewhat difficult to follow. I wanted to get as much of this down as I could while I still remember it. Basically, what I have to say about MiPT is that I was shocked by how great it was for me....
First, I would like to say that I am posting this as a precursor to the February Substance of the Month, which will be this substance. I also want to say that no words I could possibly come up with would of done justice to what I saw, and what was in my mind.

I had a pretty astounding first half of summer, had a series of momumental post iboga sorta trips with close friends. Returned to traveling hyperspace full force, in fact I seemed to be on a mission and really came to see my relationship with psychedelics is really very different from that of, well most of my other ent...
